Volunteer/Interns

Our planet is in trouble! It is faced with a long list of problems such as pollution, climate change, forest destruction and extinction of plants and animals etc. The good part is that most of us know that these threats exist and that humans have caused them. And we also know that every one of us, has a responsibility for our environment.

By volunteering at CSE you can, whatever your age, do something to help slow down and reverse some of the damage. In the process you will enrich yourself with a wealth of knowledge and a perspective that will enable you to contribute meaningfully to society and to your profession.

History is replete with examples of volunteerism. There have been occasions and times of crises when volunteers have played major roles in solving problems for societies across the world. From disaster relief or in the field of social development, the helpful interventions of volunteers have been crucial. Some individuals like to pitch in to help out of religious motivation, or out of concern for their fellow humans.

CSE accepts students from universities, schools and colleges all over the world, based on the applications received through post or email. CSE does not announce any special internship programme, as internships are need based, time based and duration specific. Hence, we have to cater to the individual need of the candidate or the institution concerned.
